Food Finders Food Bank will hold its 12th annual Blue Jean Ball, presented by the Coffin Family Foundation, Indiana Packers Corp., Pay Less Super Markets, and Zeigler Subaru of Lafayette, and in partnership with the Purdue University College of Agriculture.

This annual event raises vital operating funds to fight hunger in our community. This is Food Finders’ primary fundraising event. It is a fun way to raise awareness and funds to support its work addressing the essential needs of those facing food insecurity across a 16-county service area.

Food Finders distributes more than 12 million pounds of food annually to more than 84,000 Hoosiers through the combined efforts of 100 agency partners and Food Finders’ direct service programs. The Blue Jean Ball helps to raise the operating funds needed to continue the food bank’s mission of alleviating hunger.

The Blue Jean Ball takes place Friday, March 14, at 10:00 a.m. at the Food Finders Fresh Market, 2451 Greenbush St., Lafayette, Ind.
